Strawberry Tree

This is an evergreen shrub or small tree, often around 3-5m tall, but can grow as high as 12m. The clusters of white flowers appear in the autumn, along with the bright orange or red berries that ripen from the previous year. In the many woods and forests between Draguignan and the Lac de St. Cassien, the strawberry tree thrives along with the laurel, cork oak, juniper and other plants of the maquis.
